language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘pissed’, ‘arsehole’, ‘bloody’, ‘sod’, ‘Jesus’, ‘hell’ and ‘goddamn’.
discrimination
Occasional references to discrimination against disabled people - including lack of accessibility, and pressure to conform to an ableist concept of 'normality' - occur throughout the film, which carries a clear and positive anti-discrimination message. A disabled woman speaks briefly and without detail about receiving unwanted sexual attention from people with ‘fetishes’. There is also use of the discriminatory term ‘midget’ in reported speech. Documentary footage from the 1970s depicts discriminatory attitudes and behaviour, such as a mother of a disabled child stating her belief that he will never marry nor have children, and an interviewer asking a wheelchair user whether she ever wishes that her parents had chosen not to let her live. There is also brief use of clips from the 1932 horror film FREAKS, in which disabled performers at carnival sideshow are described as ‘monstrosities’ and a group of little people are shown chasing a screaming woman.
injury detail
There are infrequent very mild images of medical detail.
theme
There are brief and undetailed references to a person becoming 'sober' after spending time in rehab.
